Newsletter 1/22
I hope you all had a nice long weekend. I enjoyed some activities with friends and family. I liked the slight reprieve in the weather yesterday, but today seems to be back in the below zero digits. Try to stay warm. Here’s the news of the week:
Spelling: Lesson 16 Standard group does p. 64-66 Challenge group does p. 67 including part I. Challenge words are: beauty, duty, fuel, insure, stored, restaurant, listen, muscle, accurate, advertisement. Because of the short week, homework is due on Thursday and the test is on Friday.
Math: T - L63 W - Supplemental L64, p. 577 Th - L64 F- Lesson 65
Reading: Continue to record at-home reading minutes for January. A new AR goal will be set for the third quarter. I am sending a sheet home for you as a family to set a reasonable goal for the third quarter. I will write a minimum goal down, and you can set the goal at the minimum or higher. Students will be graded on the percent of goal they achieve for the third quarter. This will help to individualize goals so they are attainable, but also challenging.
Social Studies: State project. See separate post.
3rd Quarter: The third quarter of the school year starts today. Report cards for the 2nd quarter will be sent home on Thursday.
Catholic Schools Week: This Sunday, January 27 is Open House. We have many fun activities planned throughout the week. Take a look at the separate post. I’ll also send email reminders of the daily events.
